Seraphina Houston, the strong-willed daughter of an Alpha Houston; a failing werewolf pack, never imagined her fate would be sealed by a contract… or by the cold hands of a Lycan king. When she’s forced to marry the powerful and ruthless billionaire, Leone Night, to clear her father’s debt, she becomes little more than a pawn in a brutal political game. From the moment she enters the Blackthorn Pack’s palace, Seraphina is silenced, ignored, and betrayed, used as nothing more than a vessel to fulfill a cursed bloodline. Her husband shows her no kindness, his twin brother taunts her with a past she barely escaped, and her only comfort lies in the arms of a gentle palace doctor who offers her something the others never could: a choice. But the deeper she sinks into the lycan world, the more secrets unravel. A mistress with a familiar face. A child with forbidden power. And a prophecy that ties her fate to both Lycan brothers… with deadly consequences. When the time comes to choose between survival, love, and freedom…will Seraphina continue to suffer in silence, or become the rebellion the monsters never saw coming?

"Come, sit here" itinuro ni Bryan ang kanyang hita kung saan nya gustong paupuin si Nathalie. Agad naman itong sinunod ni Nathalie. Umupo nga sya sa hita nito na nakaharap sya sa table. "No, that's not how I want you to sit. Humarap ka sa akin and both of your legs should be opposite side of my thigh". Hindi malaman ni Nathalie ang gagawin dahil tanging bistida lang ang suot nya na hanggang legs dahil yun ang sabi ni Bryan. "Ahm kase Bryan bistida lang suot ko e ,pwedeng magpalit muna ako? Magsusuot lang ako ng underwear" Sagot naman ni nathalie dahil wala nga naman syang suot na pang ibaba. Tatayo na sana si Nathalie ng bigla syang hawakan ni bryan sa magkabilang bewang nya at iniangat sya nito, pinaupo sa kanyang hita na ngayon ay magkaharap na silang dalawa at ang dalawang hita ni Nathalie pinag-isahan ng dalawang side ng legs ni Bryan, dahilan para maramdaman ni nathalie sa kanyang gitna ang matigas na bagay sa loob ng boxer nito dahil wala syang suot na underwear. " I don't care kung wala kang Bra at underware dahil tulad nga ng sinabi ko, kapag nandito ako sa bahay you have no right to wear undies, only dress." galit na sabi nito.
